On the first weekend of June, Białka Stud Farm hosted the first Arabian horse championship this year in Poland, the Białka Junior Spring Show. For 2021 the public, as well as breeders and owners, could also attend the show, having not been able to do so in 2020 due to the pandemic.
After a long, cool and rainy spring, Białka welcomed the guests with good weather and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. After all, the Białka Show is a festival of young Polish horses, and they are the most important focus during its duration.
The Junior Spring Show in Białka has always been treated as the first breeding inspection of young horses, with the show featuring Polish Arabian horses aged one-to-three from both public and private studs.
A total of 106 horses were entered for this year’s Białka Junior Spring Show. 96 horses presented themselves before the judges and the audience – 38 from the State Studs and 58 from private breeders.
Best in Show – El Medida (Morion x El Medara by Shanghai EA), bred and owned by Michałów State Stud
The show was judged by Claudia Darius (Germany), Koenraad Detailleur (Belgium), Cedes Bakker (Netherlands), and Gianmarco Aragno (Italy).
The undisputed winners of the entire show were the Michałów Stud and their offspring by Morion (Kahil al Shaqab x Mesalina by Esktern). Michałów State Stud brought 14 young horses to the show, with 13 making the championships and nine winning medals – including four unanimous Gold medals for El Maestro (ex El Medonia by Shanghai EA), El Mariella (ex El Marina by Ganges), Ferrum (ex Ferrmaria by El Omari), and El Medida (ex El Medara by Shanghai EA). Michałów State Stud also went home with the Best in Show title for the two-year old mare El Medida.
